Gary, How did you secure the seats on the drivers side? Did you bolt them all of the way through? I would like to move my seats back but am a little unsure if I want to go through all of the hassle. I'd still like to meet up sometime after work or over a weekend.

Can you get a longer flashlight? My link below is almost as long as your flashlight...

I saw some on ebay that were PVC - high backed -  like these in the link below to match my Cordova paint code but I think they are too orange??? thinking about water and much that I am liable to drag in.  they have in black and gray - I think there is a tan too.

Hey Bart,
I just drilled new holes and bolted all the way through with bolts, lock nuts and washers. If you have an aux fuel tank be careful not to drill into it. Many people have done so. :-[

Bret, I tried to find a longer flashlight but this is the biggest one I could find that still matched my truck. ;)

I could see drilling new holes on the passenger side but on the drivers side it has that elevated area where the seat stay is. Am i missing something or did you use about a 6" bolt to go all the way through? If so where did you get those bolts?

the floorpan sets the contour.  So there is only the pan beneath the seat, and not a void.  The void is used to tuck the aux tank higher up.

Thanks. I have only taken off the passenger seat.  Now I see a new project.

Yep just 1" bolts are needed.
